Mr. Chair, when it comes to GMOs, I know I had requested, as did Alex, that GMOs be discussed. I can't speak for Alex, but I understood, when I made the suggestion, that GMOs really pertained to competitiveness in the industry. Some would argue that they're toxic and they diminish the value of food and production, and others might argue that they increase durability, hardiness, reproductivity, and all of those other things. So I'm not quite certain, if we have a separate two days on GMOs, what report that will become part of. I just don't want them discussed in isolation, to be hanging out in limbo. I thought they would become part of the report on competitiveness, and therefore I would have thought they would have been heard before we looked at the draft report.
